Chapter 72


    Chapter 72 The Pill She Used


    The awkwardness was mirrored on Ss’s side as he wondered what his grandfather was up to, and


    why he would choose such a tant approach when he was doing it more discreetly before that.


    “Alright, that will be all for today, as you definitely are overestimating me. We will be taking our leave for


    now.”


    “Sure, go on! I will be taking a nap now.” Old Man Nn seemed amused, “Bring him to me!” Ss


    gave his order to Connor as soon as they got out of his grandfather’s room. While there were no visible


    injuries on Lily’s face when she was brought into the house, her face was deathly pale as if having


    received a major shock


    Meanwhile, Ss motioned for Gianna to take a seat as he took out a cigarette which he lit and began


    puffing on it with a slightlyckadaisical manner. Using a casual tone for his interrogation, he asked,


    “What is the drug that you added into my grandfather’s food?” Fear seized Lily as she trembled while


    stuttering, “I-I added a single sleeping pill into his porridge as I saw Master Merlin experiencing


    palpitations during his sleep. It wasn’t to hurt him, so please forgive me, Young Master Ss! I know I


    made a mistake, and I will never do it again!” Lily knelt before him while making kowtows as she


    apologized. “Are you sure you added sleeping pills and not vasopressors?” A frown formed on


    Gianna’s face as she asked. “No, I only gave him a sleeping pill.” Lily was still begging for forgiveness.


    Putting on a steely expression, Ss said, “Master Merlin had always been ill, so you should never give


    him any medication without the doctor’s instructions! How could you not know such a simple thing?” “I


    know, which was why I only gave him one! My intention was to help him sleep better.” “I suppose you’re


    not going to tell the truth.” Ss maintained a casual andckadaisical tone as he flicked the ashes off


    his cigarette into the ashtray. “I speak the truth, Young Master Ss! You can do a test on the porridge,


    and you’ll know they are sleeping pills!” Lily exined in a hurry. “Is your sleeping pill the reason that


    Master Merlin slept till noon on the 7th?” Ss asked with a frown. “No, that has nothing to do with me. I


    was worried that Master Merlin would have trouble sleeping while I was on dutyst night, so my


    intentions were pure.” Lily looked toward Ss carefully. However, the cold expression on his face


    remained as he ordered, “Get her out of my sight, then break her legs!” “Please forgive me, Young


    Master Ss! I know I made a mistake, and I will never repeat it ever again!” Lily’s cries echoed, but


    Connor did as told without allowing her the opportunity to beg for forgiveness. “Send the bowl of


    porridge my grandfather had for a test.” Ss didn’t move from the sofa.


    “Alright.” A curt response could be heard from Connor. Meanwhile, a frown could be seen on Gianna’s


    face as she pondered, How could that be possible? Master Merlin’s blood pressure reached 180 mmHg


    that day, and the numbers wouldn’t have soared if it was a sleeping pill. However, she didn’t have time


    to mull on it any longer when Ss got up and offered to send her home, to which sheplied by


    taking her bag with her as she got onto the car after a curt response. Their journey was spent in silence


    while Gianna was feeling troubled. What’s the meaning of this? Was it because the results were out of


    his expectations, or was it because he has doubts over my diagnosis? Gianna was never one to


    internalize things, so she asked after casting him a few nces, “Do you suspect that I made an error


    during my diagnosis?” Taken aback, Ss thought, Why would she ask that?
